Secrets of St Martin-in-the-Fields stones

St Martin-in-the-Fields church in London is celebrating its 300th anniversary with an exhibition and online archive highlighting its history of activism and community service. Recent research has revealed that William Fatt, a chimney sweep and voter in 1749, was among Britain’s earliest known Black voters, predating Ignatius Sancho by 31 years. The church’s memorial stones also commemorate other historical figures connected to London's Black and immigrant communities, reflecting its longstanding role as a site of protest and compassion.
